How to get rid of mouth lines with massage

Lines around the mouth and cheeks can often be a concern and part of the ageing process. Specific massage for this area can help to soften the visible appearance and also keep these pesky lines away. These massage moves are not a magic wand, they are there as a holistic method you might enjoy incorporating into your routine.
I share some unique massage moves to help you at home keep this area looking youthful.
These methods are not intended for daily use, they are deep, so go with how your skin feels and add them into your whole routine a few times a month.
You can also follow me on Instagram for daily updates / abigailjames1
Also on my blog www.abigailjame... for the insider skin experts knowledge of how to get your best skin
I would love to know how you get on
Love Abigail x

I think laugh lines are the blessing of being a kind, friendly person. It's the tiny lip lines i hate. i don't even mind "frown" lines. they show thoughtfulness.

[@aponinodin]

I am doing these with around 3 weeks.i definitely think my upper lip is plumping,I'm very hopeful long-term it will lessen my fine lines as it does instantly whilst doing this massage.dissapointing people don't report back with their experience after a few weeks or month for us newbies to this x

[@jettagliturbo]

I watched this a while back, it is great advice!!! You get it by consuming a whole-foods plant based Vegan diet, exercising your body, doing these facial exercises, always wearing sun screen, not drinking, not smoking and never drinking through straws or small water exits. Abigail is awesome!! Those are my go to's! That is what I have always done minus her facial exercises, haven't done them yet but I am 31 and people think I am 21. I don't look different than when I was 21.

Ladies be consistent. It takes time, I've been doing these for 3 months (slacking this holiday season lol) and I am seeing results. We are all different, some may see results sooner, I'm losing weight as well so I'm slowly sagging as I'm lifting so it may take longer but I'm seeing results especially around my upper eye lid. I just need to work on my chin because of the weight loss.

Ladies please do not wait until you are in your 40s and 50s to start taking care of your skin. I started at 15 with something as simple as toning and exfoliating I’ll be 50 in 2 weeks. I DO NOT wear foundation. Never had too. Absolutely no one believes I’m turning 50. Most think I’m about 35ish. It can be a bit frustrating at times because of how people approach me. Lifting weights has also helped with the elasticity in my skin and face but I also started that at 19. My point do not wait until you are too old to!start taking care of yourself. It does work. Also cupping works.good luck!

@Krissy Grant / You must remember she’s TOO YOUNG to have these type of lines. Thus, the message is: one can do these techniques only prophylactically - when your skin is still young and flexible. For older women, I would recommend massaging the upper lip with an electric wet brush in circular motion.

Mouth lines and aging wrinkles are beautiful. I'm an older man and love age lines. Women are insecure. What a shame. Lose lines are wonderful.

I think you've missed the point. Facial massages are super relaxing and makes you feel good, and if it adds to your skin's well-being then that's an added bonus. You should try it. Also, women aren't uniform and therefore your statement that women are insecure is false. I get that some people, men and women, are insecure, but maintaining good health with physical exercise whether it be working your facial muscles or your triceps is all good. :)

Any kind of exercise is beneficial, facial or the body. It reverses the aging process. Lots of people a worried about negative affects of these massages. Its my personal opinion but i think we do more damage by ignoring it and not doing anything. Some people prefer aging gracefully. However after late 30s it becomes obvious and that's when we need help to slow down the process and these techniques help. That's the age and stage we need to incorporate these into our weekly routines. It can only be beneficial in longterm not the opposite, i feel.
